At the end of the game, James Harden got up and walked down the players'' aisle.


    This is the first time that he has led the team to play in the playoffs as a core, but this first experience has made harden miserable.


    With 11 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 mistakes, James Harden''s data today is far from the average in the regular field.


    Link didn''t make the garbage hour, but Hadden scored only two points against Tony Allen and Jimmy Butler.


    Anyway, the score is in double. But harden''s performance is certainly not what the fans want to see.


    Hadden had a lot of expectations for this game. After all, he was the one who played in the finals. After all, last year, it was his bravery that helped thunder stand opposite the heat.


    He also thought that he might be famous in this series.


    But playing the playoffs as a sixth man and playing the playoffs as the core are totally different concepts. You know what the playoffs are like when you have to face the best defenders.


    Today, harden is facing not only the Grizzlies'' best defenders, but also the Grizzlies'' most broken mouth defenders.


    121 to 98, 23 points short, the Rockets were defeated. It''s eight days different from the west this year.


    Hadden dodged the reporters and walked into the players'' channel and calculated the accounts in silence. Today, he only got 11 points. If he wants to catch up with link''s 43 points, there is still a 32 point gap!


    Can he score 32 points in the next game? Hardon can''t promise. Today''s game has let harden see what the Grizzlies defense is when they do their best. Thanks to Linko, 20 points are good.


    32? This seems to be a distant number.


    So, even if link gives harden another chance to play, it''s very likely that harden won''t catch up with link in scoring.


    The score of the two matches is not better than that of the other one... Thinking of this, harden is even more lonely.


    At the press conference after the game, harden was listless. He was so well prepared for the game that he didn''t go to the nightclub for two days!


    You know, Hardon didn''t forget to go to the nightclub during the finals of last season. But this year, in order to play well in the first round, harden.


    However, his efforts proved futile. If you can beat the Grizzlies without going to nightclubs, the Grizzlies won''t be number one in the league, they won''t be the 70 - win team.


    McHale was also obviously disappointed with the result, but to appease the players and fans, McHale made a promise.


    "We''re trying to win at home, and the playoffs are not a sure game. It''s not over. We still have a chance. "


    However, the media did not buy McHale''s words. The next day, in a program on t.nt, the host commented on McHale''s speech in this way.


    "When coach Kevin McHale said that, he probably didn''t believe it himself. The gap between the two teams was 23 points, and link scored 43 points like cutting melons and vegetables! This gap can not be filled by fighting at home


    The Rockets have been included in the "elimination to be determined" list after only one game. With 43 points and double doubles, link was also selected by ESPN as the best player in the first game of the first round.


    Now, the world is waiting for the Grizzlies to get rid of the Rockets. The series has lost its appeal to the fans.


    Just two years ago, the Grizzlies were still fighting for their first playoff win. But now, the Grizzlies don''t want to waste time in the first round.


    The playoffs are so fast that there''s no time to breathe. Just two days later, the second game between Grizzlies and rockets officially started.


    Although it''s humiliating to use two games to catch up with the score of one game, he decided to give it a try. He thinks he has adapted to the intensity of the playoffs, and this game will not be defended as badly as the last one.


    However, the result of the game was quite different from that of Hadden. Bearded found that it was not a matter of adaptation, but a problem of hard power!


    Under link''s defense, you can only get so many points!


    This game Haden''s performance has improved, 15 points, 6 assists, shooting rate of 44.6%, it is a performance of regular.


    However, it was more than twice as close to harden''s goal of 32 points.


    As for link, he''s not as grumpy as last one, but he''s still ruthless. At the end of the third quarter, link had already scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.


    All through the fourth quarter, link didn''t play again. But even so, his data are enough to make him the best of the match.


    106 to 91, the Rockets even scored five points less than the previous game. The FedEx stadium lost one game in a whole season. Rockets want to win here, of course, the odds are slim.


    To make matters worse, Lin Shuhao also suffered a shoulder injury in this competition, and it has become a mystery whether he can play next game. Although Lin Shuhao, who played for the first time in the playoffs, played poorly in these two games, at least he would not be flustered and could calmly organize the attack.Lin Shuhao an injury, the Rockets left Beverly this second round point guard. For the Rockets, even if they are about to return home, there is no hope.


    After game 2 of the series, link said he was already watching videos of the Nuggets and Clippers.


    If other players are so crazy, they will be bombarded by reporters. Just like T-Mac, his sentence "I''m already thinking about the next round of opponents" has become the biggest black spot in his career.


    But when link said this, the reporters felt that it was entirely reasonable.


    Is it possible for link to slap himself in the face? To borrow a quote from Charles Barkley, "there are many possibilities in this world, but it is impossible for rockets to beat Grizzlies."


    On April 27, 2013, the third game of the series was held. Since 2009, the Rockets have finally ushered in the playoffs at home.


    But in the scene, the Rocket fans'' mood is not high. We didn''t wear a uniform red T-shirt or create a warm home atmosphere.


    The first two games have been beaten into a pig''s head by others, this one Rocket fans really have no confidence.


    Darrell Morey, general manager of the Rockets, was sitting in the luxury box, very serious. Meanwhile, Leslie Alexander, his boss, was sitting next to Morey.


    Alexander''s face was expressionless, which made Morey more nervous. He knew that Alexander would not ask himself to come to the game for no reason. Unless, there is something to discuss.


    However, before the game started, they didn''t say anything. In this way, the third match between the rockets and the Grizzlies started at Toyota Center.


    Without Lin Shuhao, the Rockets'' attack is a mess. Although Beverly is a second round show in 2009, he has been wandering in Europe and started his rookie year in the NBA until this year.


    He is more fierce, but his experience is limited. Especially in the playoffs, Beverly is not ready to be the master.


    On the grizzly side, it''s still going well. Link played very hard and scored 18 points in the first half. The defense of the rockets was useless in front of him.


    Reggie Miller, who explains the game, yelled more than once, "Toyota Center is being destroyed by link. At least the Rockets have to do something about it."


    The Rockets were 14 points behind at halftime. Judging from this situation, it is impossible for the Rockets to hold the home court.


    Just as the cheerleaders came out, Alexander, who had been silent, spoke.


    "Link is a terrible player. He happens to be yellow, which reminds me of Yao."


    "Well..." Morey didn''t know what Alexander meant, so he nodded.


    "And this terrible player used to wear the Rockets'' jersey. Unfortunately, he only played in Houston for 10 days. If he stays, we are not in this position now. " Alexander said and looked at Morey. "I don''t think the reason why link left is because there is no subway in Houston."


    "Riles, I was..."


    "look at the two championship flags on the dome, look at them, that''s the last glory of the rockets and Olajuwon. When Yao was chosen, we all thought the Rockets would have a second Olajuwon. As a result, up to now, twenty years later, we still have only those two banners. We had good players, we had a chance to come back, but we missed it. Not only did we miss it, but we went back and angered him Alexander did not wait for Morey to finish speaking, and then forcefully seized the right to speak.


    There is no doubt that he was very disappointed with Morey''s practice of letting link go. Although it has been three years, but in today''s context, Alexander began to settle accounts after autumn.


    Morey didn''t speak any more. He knew very well why link played rockets so recklessly. He knew, and Alexander knew it.


    "Darrell, at the end of the season, submit your resignation. Thank you for your contribution to the Rockets, but it''s time for us to make a change


    Alexander finished and the second half of the game began.


    But for Morey, he no longer has the second half.
